Hopefully I'll have some coral in there by then. I wanna build it slow but I'm sure that's what we all say when were pretending to be patient lol. Just got about 120 lbs of branch dry rock and another 250 or so lbs of different types of other rock. Right when I'm ready for water I'll buy some decorator live rock to seed and I typically love hitchhikers. I've had good luck. Knock on wood. Now o get a carnivorous mantis lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have found that a sandwich of superglue and epoxy has worked best for me. I use glue, epoxy, glue for most things now. I find the epoxy goes futher becuase you do not need a lot of it.
The epoxy has the advantage of shapinf to the surface and the glue locks it in. I usually just use TLF epoxy because I can get it locally at a good price.

Hey guys anyone have experience cleaning these out? I m draining and shooting water in it. Now I'm filling both. Then draining again and adding 3 bottles of Clorox and leaving overnight. Then drain tomorrow and rinse like 2-3 times tomorrow? Do you think it will be sufficient

You can put in a declorineator, vitamin C, If you have time just let them sit out in the sun.
